I found an old coffee can filled with old recipes that my great-grandmother used from the 1920's through the 1970's. While I have yet to actually try any, I hope to this coming summer, as there are a LOT of recipes for preserves. Some of these recipes are handwritten, and many are torn from newspapers and magazines. Please enjoy, and let me know if you try any!

Squaw Dish

Fry six thin strips of bacon and remove to warm platter. In the bacon grease scramble six eggs very slowly. As soon as they begin to thicken the least bit, add 1 cupful canned corn, 1 1/2 teaspoonfuls salt, and 1/2 teaspoonful pepper. When the eggs are done, put in a mound on platter and arrange bacon around the edges. Chopped green pepper, fried a few minutes in the bacon grease before adding the eggs, improves this dish.
